LaTwit is a full featured client for Twitter and StatusNet (formerly known as Laconica) based social networking sites such as Twit Army and Identica. It also supports posting using Ping.fm.
LaTwit uses a unified timeline. This means that it will display all of your friends messages from multiple accounts and sites in a single consolidated view. It also has the option to show TwitPic image previews directly in the timeline, and has support for XMPP instant messages.
Although Twitter and StatusNet limit each message to 140 characters, you never have to worry about this limit with LaTwit. If you type more than 140 characters, you will be given the option to have it automatically split into multiple messages to meet the 140 character limit.
User names and URL links are highlighted directly within the timeline view, allowing you to quickly display a user profile or web page by tapping the link. There is an option to expand Shortened URLs automatically so you know where a link points to before clicking on it.
LaTwit also supports landscape mode throughout the entire program, so you can choose how to view the timelines, and also have the ability to type on the wider landscape keyboard.
You can easily include web page links in your messages by using the built in browser to copy links, or by sending links from the iPhone Safari web browser directly to LaTwit. See the LaTwit help page at http://latwit.mac65.com/help.html for more information. Links can be automatically shortened using one of the built-in URL shortening services.
